Include the following in your proposal. You will use this information later in your slide show and speaker notes.

Description of the issue of controversy.

Discussion of how two or three philosophies or philosophers would describe the roots of the problem

Discussion of the political or ethical theories that are in evidence in the controversy

Your proposed solution to the problem based on the readings and your own research; would you use any of the philosophers or

philosophies you chose?

Description of why you think your approach would solve the problem better than current approaches

Cite at least two peer-reviewed sources and include a reference list at the end of the presentation. The following are useful resources that are available on the Multimedia page of the University Library:

Global Issues in Context

Make sure that when you create your PPT you follow these guidelines:

Use visual effects (photographs or graphics) in each slide

Put most of the text about the slide in the speaker notes box, figure 100 - 200 words per slide in the speaker notes box

Use the speaker notes box as an adequate set of "cues" for the presenter

Employ short phrases or titles in the slides

It is best to use neat, legible font
